Okay, so here I go, finally have a little play money that I've been waiting for. Obviously, this is a must have for anyone OC'ing.
More than anything else, I would like to have the ability, and ease of transferring an audio file from the recorder to my computer and to be able to pass it along, key word ease here.
These are the two models that I've found that seem the most reasonable in price and capabilities.
Olympus VN-5200PC - About 50.00 on amazon...

This looks like the one I'll be purchasing, the only thing holding me back is this one review on Amazon...
Olympus VN-4100PC - About 35-50 on Ebay

This one seems to have a lot more negative and positive comments regarding the PC transferability....
Anybody have any other suggestions? I would like to keep it at or lower than 50.00 on the price, and it must have some kind of computer transferal capability, other than that go crazy.

This however seems to be the singular negative post regarding the transfer abilities, most compliment it's compatibility with Vista(what I have) and Windows Media Center.One more peeve is the lack of organizer program for your PC. The VN4200PC came with a very basic, but very useful program that allowed you to sort and file recordings on your PC. The VN5200PC does not. The best you can do is dump the files on disc and then use some other program to figure out how to arrange and file the recordings. So far this has been a tedious and annoying process.
